Somewhere in Kreuzberg today….. I was very honored last night to be part of the news on German television, thanks to Nadia Nasser and her team of the ZDF Heute Journal. If you missed it ( as I did ) here is a link to see it again.

Evening, a nearly empty pleasure boat passes on the river, the melody of its diesel engine echoed by the old industrial buildings on the embankment. All windows of the boat are still lit, its lights reflected on the water, one can see the waiters clearing the tables…. an evening in Upperfairmeadow….

There is a place nearby where three bridges lead over the river, one for cars, one for trains, and the other one is falling to pieces, a great place to paint, I took the boat out very early, to catch some light, it was a bit rough…. I think there is now more paint on the floor of my boat than on this painting…

When I was going around on Tuesday with the ZDF Heute Journal team through Berlin Mitte, we visited aswell the Torstrasse where I had my studio for many years, where I started also my daily painting routine, I was glad to see that the bookstore next to the nr. 95 was still there.

Last night I had a knock on my studio door. A man from the film team asked me if he could move my rubbish bins away…. I answered "If that makes you happy by all means". "Well you see" he said "this film plays in America, so if the car comes around your studio and this very German looking dust bins are in the picture it wouldn´t look right " My idea that maybe an American visitor to this country could have taken two German dustbins with him to the States as a special souvenir, and placed them somewhere in Denver, did surprisingly not appeal to the young man… so he moved the bins away, and here is a scene from what happened shortly afterwards.
